On our last trip to Wagmore I had the luxury not to work (much) while I was there. I got to spend time with family and hang out at the property. Part of my hanging out involved the seemingly never-ending quest to keep the blackberry bushes and scrub trees at bay. But part of the hanging out was just spending time there and thinking about the possibilities of the place.

Ever since I can remember I have wanted to have acreage of my own. Space to have horses, critters, and peace with nature. Now we have nearly 15 acres, and the task is planning what to do with it.

As I spent time out at the property, the projects began to reveal themselves. Here's the list we have so far (not in prioritized order):

I have been a lackadaisical blogger lately. I started this blog as a crazy dog blog, but lately life has taken over, and I've had less time to be a crazy dog person. I knew I reached an interesting point when I started to think about the blogs I'm reading most now...

What I can relate to:

Through a fellow Cardi-blogger's blog, I came across a blog called "The Everywhereist." The blog writer writes about the "joys" of travel. I was captivated. I could SO relate. I wasted a frightening amount of time on this blog last weekend.

Her air travel posts are particularly wonderful -- I've thought many of the same things she writes about - but she writes them in her blog in a humorous way. I just grumble (or laugh) to myself.

My favorite so far is the 10 commandments of air travel. They are very true, and if you fly at all you must read this before boarding the plane. If everyone read this and followed it, the world on a plane would be a much happier place!

Oh, in case you're wondering

I'm a (some say crazy) dog person who enjoys training my dogs and learning as much as I can along the way.
I share tales of dog training, life with my Cardis, work on our dream property in Washington State, and the occasional bit of travel.
